Abstract
The present invention pertains to the extraction of petroleum products and more precisely relates to compositions and methods for preparing water-in-oil emulsions. These emulsions can be used for adjusting the injectivity profile of injection wells and/or for isolating the water inflow in oil wells. In order to increase the kinetic and aggregative stability of the water-in-oil emulsions thus produced, this method comprises using as an emulsifier raw and heavy crude oil which contains gumming-asphalt, which has a high porphyrincomplex content of at least 100 .mu.g/g and which has not been submitted to any thermal-chemical treatment. The oily phase comprises a mixture of paraffinbased liquid hydrocarbons as well as a heavy solvent, wherein these components are selected in amounts by volume such that the (oily phase) mixture density is equal to that of the water used for preparing the water-in-oil emulsion.
Description
COMPOSITION AND PREPARATION METHOD FOR WATER-IN-OIL
EMULSIONS FOR OIL PRODUCTION
The invention is referred to oil production and namely, to compositions and methods of preparation of water-in-oil emulsions that are used to regulate injectivity profile and (or) block water inflow of producing wells.
The objective of the invention is to increase stability (aggregate and kinetic) of formed concentrated highly viscous water-in-oil emulsions through the application of stabilizers that are native (not subjected to any impact) polar surfactant metal (vanadium, nickel etc.) potphirine complexes and high molecular colloid dispersed asphaltene-resin oil components.
The role of aforementioned components in stabilizing water-oil emulsions formed at production and treatment of oil is well known and reviewed in detail in [1].
There is a known method of preparing oil concentrates of water-in-oil emulsions [2] that involves dissolving the asphaltenes or petroleum products containing them in aromatic hydrocarbons. Besides asphaltenes tar can be used. To prepare a working water-in-oil emulsion water is slowly added to the oil concentrate at intensive stirring.
Volume ratio of the emulsion phases is between 1:9 and 9:1 (depending on the composition and operational requirements). However, it is known that in the process of oil refining many highly active polar components for example, porphirins, are eligible to destruction (thermal destruction), and dissolving ability of asphaltene-resin oil components decreases (even in aromatic hydrocarbons) which negatively impacts their emulsifying properties.
Asphaltenes emulsify water well in their colloid (highly dispersed) state.
This state is determined by the optimum ratio of aromatic hydrocarbons (dissolving asphaltenes) and aliphatic hydrocarbons (in which asphaltenes practically do not dissolve) in the oil phase.
Deviation form the optimum ratio in the hydrocarbon composition of the oil phase leads to larger asphaltene particles or their complete dissolving. In both cases effectiveness of their stabilizing ability drops.
In the method of preparation of water-in-oil emulsions for agricultural purposes [3]
selected as a prototype it is proposed to use emulsifiers - natural stabilizers of field oil emulsions separated prior from the so called "intermediary layer" formed in oil tanks (for example, through a centrifuge). Separated concentrate of the water-in-oil emulsion is destructed through boiling in water, they are then washed through a filter to remove salts and demulsifier traces and resulting powder product is used as a stabilizer of water-in-oil emulsions. Research [4] determined that the composition of stabilizers extracted from field oil emulsions of most pools contains 50-80 %(mass) of highly fusible paraffin-ceresin hydrocarbons, 10-70% of asphaltene-resin components and the remaining portion is represented by inorganic colloid dispersed particles of various mechanical impurities among which the major role in raising stability of field emulsions belongs to iron sulphide [5]. Since the process of extraction of natural stabilizers from emulsions involves boiling and prolonged contact of the product with air oxygen and water the major surfactant stabilizers of oil emulsions - metal-porphirine complexes lost their properties due to destruction. This is a major disadvantage of the method.
Besides, to provide good dissolving of "paraffin" emulsifiers of water-in-oil emulsions in the oil phase a considerable amount of intensifying additive (i.e. up to 30-40% (mass) of butyl ether) was introduced into the oil phase. Such "paraffin" stabilizers can not provide stability of water-in-oil emulsions at temperature above melting temperature of contained in their composition paraffin-ceresine components.
According to information [4] most "paraffin" stabilizers can not form stable concentrated water-in-oil emulsions at 60-80°C. It is also known from experience that when producing oil at certain fields concentrated water-in-oil emulsions are formed that do not destruct at temperatures even around +100°C without treating them with a demulsifier and additional impact of such dehydrating factors as electric or centrifugal force. Such stable water-in-oil emulsions as a rule form oil with abnormally high content of metal-porphirin and asphaltene-resin components. Emulsified water shows increased content of colloid suspension of iron sulphide (for various reasons).
In the present invention to reach the established objective it is proposed to use a composition containing "crude" not treated in any way heavy asphaltene-resin oil with high (no less than 100 p,kg/g) metal-porphirin complex as an emulsifying component to prepare highly stable concentrated highly viscous water-in-oil emulsions. It is proposed to use aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene, xylol etc) as a solvent. Depending on the properties (density, viscosity) and quantitative content of metal-porphirin complexes, asphaltenes, resin and emulsified water (present in oil as a ballast and not participating in calculations of the composition. Water has to be removed from the composition later after it is prepared through settling) in crude oil the emulsifying component and solvent content in the composition can vary within (% of mass):
Crude oil 25-85 Solvent 15-75 To prepare stable viscous water-in-oil emulsions to regulate injectivity it is required first to prepare a corresponding "oil" phase in the field. Within 5-25% (miss) of the aforementioned composition shall be added to the oil phase as an emulsifier.
As the oil phase it is proposed to use the most available (and economical) for each pool liquid oil hydrocarbons of the paraffin hydrocarbons such as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), unstable gas benzene etc. blended with "AFK" agent (TU 212-199-05763458-94) that serves the function of an effective solvent of asphaltene-resin and porphirin oil components and regulator of the "oil" phase density.
The optimum ratio of blended volumes of the aforementioned components of the "oil phase" is such at which the density of resulting blend ("oil phase's shall equal the density of water used to prepare emulsions.
After the aforementioned composition as an emulsifier is added to the "oil"
phase the density of which is regulated intense dispersion of water in "oil" takes places through any common method (for example, with a blender or circulating the system through a pump).
A specific volume of water that has to be emulsified in the specific volume of "oil"
should be added gradually in small portions.
Example 1. To prepare water-in-oil emulsion a composition was used that contained unique in its porphirin component (Table 1 ) heavy asphaltene-resin oil from Verkhozimski oil production division of '2'enzaneft" and toh~ene in a 3:1 ratio. As an "oil" phase a blend of low octane number gasoline (specific weight - 710 kglm3) and APK (specific weight - 1,500 kg/m3) was used at a 1:1 ratio. The density of resulting "oil" phase was 1.105 kg/m3. This corresponded to the density of salt produced water used to emulsify water in the "oil". Following these conditions (no differential in density of emulsified "oil" and water phase) ideal terms are created to provide 100%
kinetic stability of resulted water-in-oil emulsion. This does not exist in any known method of preparation of similar emulsions.
The content of emulsifier in the "oiI" phase in both available method [3]
selected as a prototype and the proposed composition and preparation method for water-in-oil emulsions for oil production was changed within 1 to 30% of mass. In both cases kinetic (K,) and aggregate (A,) stability of formed water-in-oil emulsions was evaluated.
I~" was evaluated based on the volume of separated "oil phase" (Vo; % of volume) of the initial volume of the "oil phase" (V~) that was used to prepare a 50% water-in-oil emulsions in standard conditions after its static settling within 24 hours at temperature of 20°C, i.e.
